Hi guys,
As a New South Welshman with not much on an idea with WA fishing, can you please help me out? This little guy was caught and released at Bicton Baths on a river prawn. Thanks very much in advance.
Is it some kind of tailor?

western butterfish
Western Butterfish grow to 31cms in length.
They are considered average eating.
Western Butterfish are found only in Western Australia, from Geographe Bay north to the Dampier Archipelago, inhabiting sea grass beds and reef areas and near shore rocky bottoms of coastal bays.
